The model's call
Houston Astros to win
Model confidence 68.9%
Books consensus 68.9%
Identical on purpose: the model applies no adjustment to the books’ de-vigged
consensus until a candidate signal proves itself in shadow audit — none has yet.
Prediction markets below are a comparison, not an input.

Prediction markets vs the books
Every venue sells the same thing — a dollar if that side wins — at a different price. Implied cost per venue below; amber = the cheapest way to buy that side right now.
| Venue | Athletics | Houston Astros |
|---|---|---|
| Books consensus fair, de-vigged | 31.1% | 68.9% |
| Best book price incl. vig | 32.3% | 70.1% |
| Kalshi contract price | 32.2% | 67.8% |
Contract prices exclude exchange trading fees (Kalshi ~1–2¢ midrange), which narrow small gaps. A venue meaningfully below the books consensus is either a bargain or an early opinion — the graded record decides which.
